“Perfection” This was the first time we have booked a private villa and were a little nervous as to what to expect - our concern was unfounded, the villa "did exactly as it said on the tin"! Carlton was excellent and nothing too muc trouble. The location is perfect, near to all restaurants and bars, beach etc. We really didn't want to leave and are looking forward to returning.

“We loved it!!!” On a recent vacation with my husband and 22 month old daughter, we stayed at the Vida Mejor and we absolutely loved it! Carlton was amazing! He helped us arrange transportation from the airport. Carlton welcomed us with a friendly hand shake when we arrived and was nothing less than polite and helpful! The villa was very clean, and nice. Great location!!! A 5-10min walk to beach and cafes/restaurants. My Daughtet loved the pool!!! And we kinda adopted the villa cat while we were there.( my daughter insisted on taking care of it :-) A great place to stay. We look forward to staying here again in 2014!

“Wonderful stay!” We had a wonderful trip and the apartment was even better than we expected. We had no trouble getting ahold of Sonja when we arrived and she was ready and waiting for us after our taxi arrived. The apartment was very clean, very well furnished and had everything we needed for our stay. Really like a home away from home although the apartment is slightly larger than our house so we reveled in the extra space! We spent the first week mostly hanging around Speightstown, going to the beach a lot and exploring the town. We had breakfast on the balcony every morning; it was wonderful to sit outside and watch the waves. Our son especially loved to stand on the balcony and watch the cars go by (go figure). We did have to rearrange some of the decorations to be out of his reach, but that was a minor thing and I think I put everything back in its proper place. :) The beach was very nice and private; we were the only people using it the vast majority of the time we went down there. All the rocks and coral did make it a little hard to wade with our two year old but we did find some nice sandy spots and he had fun going out a little deeper with us holding him. We spent the second week renting a car and exploring more of the island and found that Speightstown was a very good base for going to most of the attractions that we wanted to see like the wildlife reserve and animal Flower Cave. Overall, we had an excellent trip and would recommend Barbados, and this apartment, to anyone seeking a fun and relaxing family vacation.

“Very good location” Carlton was very easy to talk to and ask for help on anything to do with the island. He did all this even before I met him for the first time. So this was setting me up as too how it was to be in person and he was just as pleasant and helpful when we arrived. The house is in a great location and an easy walk to everything you need. We did not see monkeys in the garden but they were on the street in front of the house a few times which was a thrill for us. You will feel very safe in the area where the rental is located as well. The only thing I would have to say that was not up to my liking were the beds. They were really hard and needed a pad on the top of them for more comfort . After being there a week you really felt your back getting sore. One other thing that could have been better was the house keeping. The lady was so sweet and nice to be around I did not dare ask her to do a better job on the floors. It was so minor and we were only there a week so I chose to over look it. I would not even consider staying at another place if I ever get the chance to return. Carlton has my business and I have told others to rent as well from this same place. Well worth the look. Thank You Carlton for the chance to stay at your rental.

“Gracious Host Came With Toast” The Villa Vida Mejor Villa was the perfect place for our family to stay on our first trip to Barbados. The moment we arrived (late at night) Carlton greeted us with bread, for toast, tea, and other fixings for breakfast. He was always present when needed, but never intrusive. The Villa is comfortable and spacious, and the private pool is a serene getaway surrounded by tropical plants. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, but only a quarter mile or so from Holetown proper and the bustle of the platinum coast. The kids loved the high speed internet, while we enjoyed breakfast on the terrace. The beach is an easy 10 minute walk away. When we come back to Barbados, there is no doubt whatsoever that we will return to the Vida Mejor.

“Excellent” I stayed 3 weeks at this beautiful place. The apartement was great and is next to the sea. Some really beautful beaches are around with pure white sand. A rental car is absolutely needed to get to the supermarkets and to other beaches. Stefano, the guy who rent the apartements is great. Whenever i had questions or something was to arrange, he was there and offered help. A really friendly guy I can absolutely recommoned this place and would go there again. I really enjoyed my holidays.

“Great!!!” A really great location in the south of the island! In the neighborhood of the friendly bajan people! A short way to the city Oistens with bus just 10 Minutes. The host Stefano and his wife are very helpful and friendly. Very Great!! We enjoied every day in the beautiful blue ocean cottage. Its clean? It is!!! Perfectly clean!! I can advise this location alot!!!

“Perfect villa in superb location” Really lovely villa and so handy for everything in Holetown we stayed in a Hotel the previous year ( Colony Club ) but this villa had everything we would wish for and so more private Paulette came in every couple of days and the gardens and pool were kept in first class condition throughout our stay We used Port St Charles a couple of times which was an added bonus when renting here and if you want to get away from the busy beaches this exclusive yacht club is perfect Looking forward to returning next February with friends as we have rebooked already which says it all !

“"Home away from home"” Stefano and Elisabetta were gracious hosts, a lovely couple, very accomodating and helpful. We felt at home in our apartment, which was situated very close to a beach and a nice beach pub. We would recommend this rental to anyone who wants to explore Barbados.

“Still wanted to be there!” We had a great time during our stay at the Blue Ocean Cottage in september 2013. The cottage was nice, clean, well-maintained and we enjoyned the sea-view. The owners provided a very good service and hospitality. The low season is a great time to stay; nice, quiet and the beaches of our own! We certainly would recommend this property and we will come back as soon as possible, Helmer and Martijntje
